I have to admit it wasn't as slow of day as I would of liked.
Between cleaning, cooking and helping "the Man of the Place" loading and unloading wood to the back porch.
This is are 3rd pick up load and smallest so far this winter. we only burn wood to heat our home. Love wood heat but boy it is messy between the tracking in of dirt and wood shavings, then the cleaning out of the stove. Wish they made self cleaning stoves like they do ovens.
Also finished up cleaning my sewing room which I started yesterday
Before
After
It was such a mess from pretty much being a catch all during the holidays
But now it's fit for me to get back in there and do some creating.
So I wasn't able to get to any handwork till this evening
Working on a Garden Party block
Over half way done with this block
Like how the butterfly looks
While I was picking up I noticed the underside of the box the little plants were mailed in.
I think this is cute.

We spent Sunday loading wood to the house too. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI must admit it is an effort to stack the wood but worth all the effort when you sit in front of the stove and watch the dancing flames.
ReplyDeleteWe used to heat our first home with wood too. 5-7 cords a winter! We would get a wood cutting permit, go up and cut it ourselves, load the truck, bring it home unload, stack, stack, stack! Bring it in, burn it. With all that activity we stayed in shape, and kept warm many times from that wood. Spiders came in too!
